She also earned her Master of Arts in Elementary Education, and Education Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, from Piedmont University in Demorest, Georgia.

“As my name was called, I immediately began to think about the goodness of God. I am forever thankful for His goodness and His favor upon my life. I am nothing without Him. Secondly, I began to think about the many amazing people who have impacted my life and have grown me as an individual, educator, and leader. To be named the Hart County Charter System Teacher of the Year is a moment I will forever have engraved within my heart. I love being a part of an amazing school and school system,” Mrs. Morrison said. “To all of my educators and leaders within Hart County, never forget your why. You have the opportunity each day to impact the lives of so many. We are the true superheroes! I pray that this is one of the best years for the Hart County Charter System.”

Morrison has been teaching for nine years and has taught first grade, fourth grade, and special education. Her goal is to create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that is conducive to learning.

Morrison has a passionate and energetic personality as well as a positive mindset which creates a welcoming environment for all.

Her teaching philosophy is that no students are the same, but all students are capable of learning, and it is her belief that building relationships among students and their families is the key to a successful learning environment.

Morrison strongly believes that when students and parents know that you genuinely care, they will put the effort into helping their child succeed in the classroom.

Morrison is married to Rakolya Morrison, and they have two children, Khloe and Kace. She enjoys spending time with God and her family.

Since being selected as the Hart County Charter System Teacher of the Year, Morrison will now apply to be the Georgia Teacher of the Year.
